Soft, skin-interfaced, wearable biosensors for athletic sweat analytics and real-time dehydration monitoring

Dehydration during exercise degrades performance and increases heat-related risk; however, the commonly used gold-standard measurements like body-mass change and urine/blood analysis are not compatible with continuous, in-field monitoring. In this paper, we present a soft, skin-interfaced, wearable...
